Polar vortexes followed by 61 degree, spring weather, February has been a temperature roller coaster so far. So dramatic! Supreme Leader Orangina Trump just gave the State Of The Union address stating that we can either have a working government or investigations but we cannot have both… What? How has this show not been cancelled yet?

Anyway! We got great shows for you this month. One of them is MY show so, yes, the recommendation is super bias but come support me!

A Japanese matriarch, diagnosed with cancer, brings this all-American family back together where they must face everything that has been buried for years. Taking place 7 years after Kentucky, will daughters Hiro and Sophie be able to restore their relationships? Will their stern and reluctant father step up and heal the open wounds from the past?

Set in Antebellum America with an absurd and Brechtian twist, fictitious characters Eleanor—cross-dressing as a white planter—and her husband, Bill—pretending to be her loyal servant—attempt to escape to the free state of Pennsylvania. Their operation is running smoothly until they meet Walsh, a drunk planter and member of the Not All Slavers organization, who steals Bill at a rest stop. Armed with a semi-automatic and her fair skin, Eleanor sets out to rescue him by any means necessary.

“Suicide Forest is a bilingual nightmare play excavating the Japanese-American consciousness and its looming relationship with sex, suicide, and identity. In 1990’s Japan, a teenage girl grapples with her sexuality in a nightmarish, male-defined society as a salaryman desperately tries to escape his masochistic psyche. Both are clawing for their self-worth. When their two journeys collide, they expose their darkest desires fueled by shame as they now confront life and death with the notorious Suicide Forest looming over their imagination. Performed by a Japanese heritage cast, Suicide Forest examines the role of community and the inner struggles of emotional, psychic and social suicide through the playwright’s lived stories and inner landscape.“ -From official website.
